Bust the Mansion Slot Free Play
How To Play It
You will be able to start the game with a wager of only $0.25, which is considered enough to activate all 25 lines. If you like what you’re seeing, and you can afford to, the wager can be increased all the way up to $25.
The setup is not unusual for a slot machine, and it uses 5×3 reels along with 25 active lines. The lines are fixed, and they allow for combinations to form when you have 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on them, landing in consecutive order from the first reel towards the last one.
Special Features
Among plenty of other features that you will discover inside, Bust the Mansion also includes a Wild. You can either form some impressive winning combinations with wilds alone, paying up to 400x the stake each time (vs 20x for a regular combo), or you can use them as substitutes. The latter will bring you wins as well, just smaller ones and more often.
Gaining access to the free spins is only possible when you have a certain number of Key scatters on the reels. Between 3 and 5 of these symbols are enough, to get you 10 to 25 free games. The 3rd reel is now covered with mixed Wild Money Vault symbols, which are both substitutes and scatters that can lead to the Link & Win feature. As there are no scatters on reel 3, the free spins retrigger only via 3-4 scatters, for an extra 10-15 rounds each time.
For many, the Link & Win respins will be the major feature of the game. Should 6+ Money Vault symbols appear at the same time, you will receive 3 Link & Win respins. You use the triggering Money Vaults which become sticky, and you try to get more during the respins that follow.
When new Money Vaults appear, the respins reset back to 3. You can get a regular cash prize from each Money Vault, a fixed jackpot of lower value, or you could claim a Grand Jackpot if you can fill all 15 positions with these symbols.
Maximum Payouts
If you give Bust the Mansion a chance, you could walk away with a decent prize. 10,000x the stake is the promise here, though only for the slot’s wilds, when their combinations fully cover every single line available. The Link & Win respins could also get you there, especially with the Grand Prize being claimed inside (5,000x the stake).
There is a downside as well, and that’s the high volatility. RTP can be good, if you get the 96.23% version.
Summary
Bust the Mansion looks like a decent new release from Microgaming and Pulse 8 Studios, but you don’t get anything new from it, it relies on tried and tested mechanics.
